I make work with movement and breath. I collaborate with inspiring humans and through that collaboration, find energy. I move to process and I perform to process. I allow dreams to froth up and take charge. My work dances through theatricality, song, and performativity. It develops as a momentary reaction to the present humans, the feeling in the air. It craves interaction amongst performer, witness, and the space encapsulating them. I live in the hyper-capitalistic consumerism that made me. I look to newly created worlds rising from its ashes. I look to presence in digital and virtual spaces and I trouble present day patterns of disembodiment. I believe in the importance of imagining. I believe in the radical necessity of imagining. Against my inner coding, I listen. Contrary to my internal rhythm, I wait. Traitor to my programming, I allow emergence. I dance for connectivity: with self, with others, with performer, with witnesses.  I acknowledge who came before me. My work lives as an extension. I make dance that celebrates the fullness of movement in space, movement in sound, and movement in body. I celebrate bodies in exploration with each other. I listen and react to my collaborators. I improvise what has been planned. I revel in performativity.
